GARAGE DOOR OPENERS: Repaired or Replaced, Get an Expert.
The garage is an often forgotten-about extension of your home or business, and we never really appreciate its value and worth until a major component just fails to work. Garage doors are built to withstand a lot of use and abuse and are expected to last the average life span of 15 to 20 years, or longer, depending on the quality and warranty.
If you stop and consider how many times a day the garage door opens and closes and then think about the weight being shuffled about along a track system, you have cause to be concerned about a system malfunction. While a single simple steel garage door weighs around 125 pounds and a double garage door beef up to at least 200, that's a substantial workout for the average garage door opener cycle 3 to 6 times a day.
Should you worry about a poorly installed system, or can you put all your faith into a DIY instructional tutorial? If you worry, you're not alone. Ultimately, when it comes to garage doors in general, there is nothing more devastating in preventing home deterioration and property devaluation than an improperly installed garage door and accompanying system.
Troubleshooting Trio
While you may have faith in your DIY skills, dealing with the precise details of a garage door system and its supporting spring tension cables, rails, coils, and measurements are best left to a professional handler. But, you have an advantage with a few ways to circumvent a major disaster before it happens. It begins with
- Always
calling us to perform routine maintenance, inspections, or upgrades.
- Take notice of the following signs of a failing opener system:
·
The garage door will
not open or close
·
The garage door
suddenly reverses while in midcycle
·
Intermittent full
working cycle
·
Noisy, shaking, and
rattling while in operation
· Stalls or gets stuck while in cycle
- run
your diagnostic safely by trying the troubleshooting tips:
·
Check the lock
button on your opener switch and unlock it if needed.
·
Is your opener motor
unplugged?
·
Check for any
misaligned, damaged, dirty, or blocked sensors.
·
Main circuity
breaker tripped?
·
The garage door
keypad might be locked or has dead batteries.
·
The keypad could be
out of range
·
Keypad needs
reprogramming
· The opener antenna should be pointing down
If none of these get
you back on track, it is time to get us on the job. The fault could lay in
damaged railing, rollers, broken springs, slipped belts and chains, or torsion
bars not connecting. Our professionally trained technicians are the safety gap
between a do-it-yourself job gone horribly wrong and your safety.
The tension in a
garage spring alone can impart great physical harm if you are not prepared or
qualified to fix issues like these. Besides running the risk of personal
injury, you could be voiding your warranty and creating insurance hazards as
well.

concerns about the length of time this project can take. However, barring any
complications or factory parts unavailability, this really isn't as
time-consuming as you would think. Choosing a reputable and premiere company

longevity and integrity of the system and parts.
